As promised. This example uses a Gmail account. 

        lcErr = ""
        lcSchema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/";
        loConfig = CREATEOBJECT("CDO.Configuration")
        WITH loConfig.FIELDS
                .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpserver") = "smtp.gmail.com"
                .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpserverport") = 465 && 465 or 587
                .ITEM(lcSchema + "sendusing") = 2
                .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpauthenticate") = .T.
                .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpusessl") = .T.
                .ITEM(lcSchema + "sendusername") = lcUserName
                .ITEM(lcSchema + "sendpassword") = lcPassword
                .UPDATE
        ENDWITH
        loMsg = CREATEOBJECT ("CDO.Message")
        WITH loMsg
                .Configuration = loConfig
                .FROM = lcFrom
                .TO = lcTo
                IF NOT EMPTY(lcCC)
                        .CC = lcCC
                ENDIF 
                IF NOT EMPTY(lcBCC)
                        .BCC = lcBCC
                ENDIF   
                .Subject = lcSubject
                .TextBody = lcText
                IF NOT EMPTY(lcAttach1)
                        .AddAttachment(lcAttach1)
                ENDIF
                IF NOT EMPTY(lcAttach2)
                        .AddAttachment(lcAttach2)
                ENDIF 
                
                .Send()
                
        ENDWITH

Subject: Easiest/best way to create an email using local MS Outlook with file 
attachments?

VFP9SP2 app

Customer uses Outlook and wants the app to generate an email to a given email 
address from the app AND attach certain documents to it.  Customer will preview 
it and then manually hit "Send" on their own.

What's the BEST (and hopefully easiest) way to implement this? Invoke Outlook 
via CREATEOBJECT and set properties and attachments accordingly?  Typically in 
the past I've used MAILTO and ShellExec but this time the extra requirement is 
to have files attached from the application too, which makes MAILTO not an 
option, if I understand correctly.

--Mike
